Following the Sea Otter Classic, we made our way north to find out what everyone at the race was talking about: the epic-ness of the Santa Cruz mountain bike trails. And OMG were they sick!
Most of the trails we rode started with long long long climbs to be followed by bomber downhills. After one epic ride, both David and I were wishing we had some plush full suspension bikes to cruise the trails on! Lucky for us, our friends Ryan and Val, let us demo some of their awesome Bionicon bikes that have a unique feature that let’s you adjust your geometry on the fly!
Our biking adventures in Santa Cruz wouldn’t be complete without some of the new friends that we were lucky enough to make. Troy, Haley, Johnny and Ashley all came into our lives after meeting some of their mutual friends while we were on the road. Thanks for showing us the goods in SC guys!
For anyone in the SC area, you need to check out these awesome trails: Magic Carpet at UCSC, Enchanted Forest in Nisene Marks and the Top of the World!
